Day 24 – Saint Regis to Anaconda MT Ugh at construction. And EFF YOU at some construction contractors putting the cones a few feet into our lane, leaving us no wiggle room for when the wind gusts. I (L) hit four of them. I ran one completely over. Lots of others were down, too. And…

Big Western Circle Trip #2 – Part 5
Day 18 – Randle to Moses Lake WA, the hitchhiker Yet another beautiful drive! This time along the edge of the National Park and along a river with a very large lake. Per my (L) request, we stopped at a wide spot in the road where the Pacific Crest Trail crosses the highway. We’ve both…
Big Western Circle Trip #2 – Part 3
Day 9 – change of plans, left Boardman early We were still on Stupid Other Time™ so we were up kinda early. Well, for us, really early. We hit that amazing breakfast (and it was great!), and were talking about what to do with too much time in Boardman. E called our next campsite and…
Big Western Circle Trip #2 – Part 2
Day 5 – Snowville, UT to Boise, ID Our drive on a nicer stretch of highway made a big difference, but the wind was awful. As soon as we rolled into town, I (L) declared the need for ice cream. Lovejoy ice cream shop made quick work of that request. I ordered a double scoop…
Big Western Circle Trip #2 (2023 edition) – Part 1

Kidless Camping – White River National Forest
There are a few childfree groups in the Denver area. None of them are quite as active or organized as we’d like. This was our second outing with this particular group. That is not for a lack of trying; we’ve tried to go on this dog-friendly camping trip several times, but we could never get…
Hot Springs and would-be Jeepin’ Things
Last September, we saw the Great Sand Dunes (National Park) and other stuff in that area. Based entirely on a video by Elsa & Barron, we stayed at “The Greenhouse” hot springs in Hooper, CO. We had an amazing time. So this year, when some camping friends wanted to do that same trip for a…
Fall Wine 2209 – Part Four of Four
Day Thirteen Mancos to Hooper, CO What a beautiful early-Fall drive over the Wolf Creek Pass! Just before we got to Durango, we saw 30 or more Ferraris (and one Porche) traveling together. Our best guess is that it was a car club. I tried to find them on the dash cam, but couldn’t…and then…
